America’s Greatest Golf Course? Tom Coyne makes his pick
What’s the greatest American golf course? It’s complicated — but we’ve got the right guy to take us down a wandering path to an answer.
Tom Coyne has walked all of Ireland. He’s criss-crossed the United States. Most recently, he bought a failing golf course in Upstate New York. And he’s written books about all of the above. So he can speak to the ingredients of a “great” golf course, he knows the difference between great golf in the U.K. and Ireland versus great golf in the U.S. — and now he knows the nuts and bolts of owning and operating a course himself. Plus Dylan digs up an old email he sent Tom before embarking on an American golfing road trip of his own, and a response that changed his writing career.
Coyne takes us through the five courses he’d play if he only had five rounds left, the bucket-list course he hasn’t yet ticked off and, at last, his pick for Greatest American Golf Course.
